Trinity Rep

The Tony Award-winning Trinity Rep is one of the last resident acting companies in the U.S., performing in one of Providence’s most historic venues. The former Emery Majestic Theater was opened by local vaudevillians in 1917. When movies became America’s favorite form of entertainment, the Majestic became the premier theater downtown. However business slowed and its doors closed in the mid-20th century. The Majestic’s history of live performance meant the building was a natural fit to house Providence’s newly formed Trinity Repertory Company. Trinity Rep was founded in 1963 and is considered “one of the most respected regional theatres in the country.”
